Overview
The "WhatsApp Multi-Session" node allows users to interact with the WhatsApp Multi-Session API, specifically for sending typing indicators. This functionality is useful in scenarios where a user wants to indicate that they are typing a message to another user on WhatsApp, enhancing the communication experience. For example, when a customer service representative is preparing a response, they can use this node to show the typing indicator, making the interaction feel more engaging and real-time.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Session ID | The WhatsApp session ID required to authenticate the request. |
| Phone Number | The recipient's phone number (including country code, without the '+' sign) to send the typing indicator to. |
Output
The output of the execute() method will typically include a JSON object indicating the success or failure of the operation. If successful, it may return details about the typing indicator status. If there is an error, it will provide an error message and details.
